TACOINCIDENCE TACO STOP #11
I met up with Ravi Patel on Taco Tuesday at Guisados in Burbank, CA. He’s an entrepreneur, investor and co-founder of the granola bar company This Saves Lives. He’s also an award-winning actor who wrote and directed an autobiographical documentary called Meet the Patels. I wanted to learn why he believes in the power of culture and brand experience, what he does to create it and how it’s helped him thrive. All…over tacos. It really doesn’t get much better than this!
